The Kaiju/Monsterverse Thread (Kong & Godzilla)

[The Joker]

I would wager a fellow Godzilla fan, and Heisei era enthusiast will be having a lighter wallet come May.

Oh, why not another?

Looking good.

[The Dark Knight]

I have both my eyes on this movie. I think it can be something special. The atmosphere looks just about perfect. Selling the dread humanity would feel in reality. At total mercy to an unstoppable monster who is ripping every single thing it encounters apart. So I expect audiences will feel more fear than joy when the buildings come crashing down. Can't wait to see it.

[Silver Nemesis]

I was thinking the same thing, TDK. The sheer scale of Godzilla should be quite terrifying on the big screen. The tone suggested by the trailer evokes the 1954 original, where Godzilla was a dark, elemental force of nature that couldn't be stopped. I'm hoping this will turn out to be a 'scary movie' blockbuster in the tradition of Jaws (1975). It looks very promising.

Exactly. The key words are 'cannot be stopped'. But neither a hero or a villain, just existing.

This is definitely one intensely gratifying trailer that I've seen in quite some time. It hit all the right beats. Perhaps it's a bit on the "spoilerish" side, but honestly I'm not too heavily concerned with spoilers when it comes to Godzilla movies. I know why I'm going to see it, and it's not for the plot twists.
